Specification for masonry units - Part 3: Aggregate concrete masonry units (Dense and lightweight aggregates)

This European Standard specifies the characteristics and performance requirements of aggregate concrete masonry units made from dense and lightweight aggregates or a combination of both for which the main intended uses are common, facing or exposed masonry in load bearing or non-load bearing building and civil engineering applications. The units are suitable for all forms of walling, including single leaf, external leaf to chimneys, cavity wall, partitions, retaining, and basement. They can provide fire protection, thermal insulation, sound insulation and sound absorption.
This European Standard includes aggregate concrete masonry units of an overall non-rectangular parallelepiped shape, !specially" shaped and accessory units.
It defines the performance related to e.g. strength, density, dimensional accuracy, and provides for the assessment and verification of constancy of performance (AVCP) of the product to this European Standard. The marking requirement for products covered by this European Standard is included.
This European Standard does not specify standard sizes for aggregate concrete masonry units, nor standard work dimensions and angles of specially shaped aggregate concrete masonry units. It does not cover storey height panels, chimney flue linings nor units intended for use as a damp proof course. It does not cover units with an incorporated thermal insulation material bonded to the faces of the unit susceptible to be exposed to fire.

Specifikacija za zidake - 3. del: Betonski zidaki (kompaktni in lahki agregati)

Ta evropski standard določa značilnosti in zahteve za zmogljivost betonskih zidakov, narejenih iz kompaktnih in lahkih agregatov ali kombinacije obojega, ki so predvideni predvsem za uporabo pri splošni, fasadni in izpostavljeni zidavi pri nosilnih ali nenosilnih visokih ali nizkih gradnjah. Zidaki so primerni za vse oblike sten, vključno z enojnim slojem in zunanjim slojem pri dimnikih, votlih zidovih, predelkih, opornih zidovih in kleteh. Zagotavljajo lahko zaščito pred požarom, toplotno izolacijo, zvočno izolacijo in zvočno absorpcijo.
Ta evropski standard vključuje betonske zidake nepravokotnih paralelepipednih oblik, zidake »posebnih« oblik in pomožne zidake.
Opredeljuje zmogljivost v zvezi z npr. močjo, gostoto in dimenzijsko natančnostjo ter omogoča ocenjevanje in preverjanje nespremenljivosti zmogljivosti (AVCP) proizvodov v skladu s tem evropskim standardom. Vključena je zahteva za označevanje proizvodov, ki jih zajema ta evropski standard.
Ta evropski standard ne določa standardnih velikosti za betonske zidake niti ne določa standardnih delovnih dimenzij in kotov betonskih zidakov posebnih oblik. Ne zajema panelov etažne višine, oblog za dimne cevi za dimnike ali zidakov, ki se uporabljajo kot izolacijska zaščita pred vlago. Ne zajema zidakov z vgrajenim materialom za toplotno izolacijo, vezanim na stranice zidaka, ki so lahko izpostavljene ognju.

5 Requirements for aggregate concrete masonry units
5.1 General
The requirements and properties specified in this European Standard shall be defined in terms of the test
methods and other procedures referred to in this European Standard.
NOTE A declared value may be chosen from the classification system, if any, of the place of manufacture/use of the
units.
It should be noted that the standard test methods are not always applicable to specially shaped and accessory
units as defined in 3.1.10 and 3.1.11.
The conformity criteria given in the following subclauses !relate to product type determination" (see 8.2)
and, when relevant, to consignment testing (see Annex A). For the compressive strength of Category I units
use a 50 % fractile (p = 0,50) for mean values or 5 % fractile (p = 0,05) for characteristic values and a
confidence level of 95 %.
For production evaluation, the manufacturer shall define the conformity criteria in the factory production
control documentation (see 8.3).
5.2 Dimensions and tolerances
5.2.1 Dimensions
The manufacturer shall declare the dimensions of the aggregate concrete masonry units in mm for length,
width and height, in that order (see Figure 1). They shall be given in terms of work size.
NOTE 1 In addition the co-ordinating size may be given.

5.2.2.1 Tolerances
The tolerances on declared work sizes of individual regular shaped units shall conform to Table 1. Closer
tolerances may be declared for one or more dimensions. The manufacturer shall declare the tolerance
category of the units.

manufacturer.
These tolerances shall not apply to the dimensions between the surfaces of units which are manufactured to
be non planar.
If sampled in accordance with A.2 and tested in accordance with EN 772-16:2011 (method a)), the results
evaluated in accordance with B.1 shall conform to the declared tolerance category.
5.2.2.2 Flatness of bed faces
When aggregate concrete masonry units are declared as tolerance category D4 for use with thin layer mortar,
the manufacturer shall also declare the maximum deviation from flatness of the bed faces.
If sampled in accordance with A.2 and tested in accordance with EN 772-20, the deviation from flatness of the
bed faces shall not exceed the declared value.

When aggregate concrete masonry units are declared as tolerance category D4 for use with thin layer mortar,
the manufacturer shall also declare the maximum deviation from plane parallelism of the bed faces.
